DoDIN-Approved Cisco Networking & Edge at Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek, VA

As the major East Coast operating base for expeditionary and special warfare forces, JEB Little Creek-Fort Story hosts Naval Special Warfare Group Two, SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team Two, Explosive Ordnance Disposal Mobile Unit Two, Naval Beach Group Two, and Mobile Diving and Salvage Unit Two, alongside the Naval Special Warfare Center's Advanced Training Command facilities. That density of special operations commands means separate, tightly controlled network enclaves are the norm rather than the exception, with Cisco Secure Firewall and ISE used to keep training, administrative, and operational traffic from ever touching the same broadcast domain.

Because the base supports 18 homeported ships along with dozens of landing craft and joint Army-Navy training areas at Fort Story, IT buyers here range from ship's force communications departments to Naval Special Warfare training cadre, each with its own procurement chain. Expect heavier use of GSA Schedule and SEWP for special-warfare and training-range network builds, with GPC covering routine barracks or admin-building refresh, and DoDIN-aligned STIG documentation carrying extra weight given the base's special operations tenants.
